CORE Workshop

As a foundation to capacity building and disaster risk reduction, the CORE training workshops offer for the first time the opportunity for governments and humanitarian agencies worldwide to agree a consensus to deliver together the same basic introductory technical training. The workshops carry with them the messages of Camp Co-ordination and Camp Management, Early Recovery, Emergency Shelter, Protection and WASH globally and Mainstreaming DRR with Development. The five day Common Operational Recovery Essentials (CORE) training is the outcome of a collaborative effort to develop a basic technical understanding and build a common language on Humanitarian Work, Disaster Risk Reduction and Capacity Building. It also acts as a foundation for capacity building activities and an introduction to the technical IASC clusters
